 The Methodist church is in bad repair.

A Jack son Jubilee.

The Fourth Annual Banquet OF the
jackson Club was held at Columbus,
Ohio, on the late anniversary Of the
Battle Of New Orleans, at which Judge
Allen &. Thurman responded to the
sentiment of "Thc Union, the com
mon heritage OF the people" as follows:
1--WE have assembled tonight To do
what We can to rclnvigorate the funda-
mental principles of our party, to
bring about, us far rs possible, unity OF
sentiment and of action; to renew our
devotion to the union OF States, and To
gather inspiration from the example
and teachings OF great men, whose
valor and whose victories We this night
cclcbratc; and what better homage
can we pay to him who fought, when
Il child, to achieve our independence;
who fought when Il man to maintain
and preserve it. and who, when at the
head Of the Government and at Il dan
gcrouS crisis of our country'S history.
uttered the ever memorable sentiment
The Union, ii must and shall be pre-
served than to declare, as we do in
the toast Just read, that the Union is
the common heritage of patriots
Yes, Mr.. President, it is so and il ought
to be 50. Men may have been mis-
guided and gone wrong i'll the past,
but whatever may be mans history,
if he is to-day, and means to be i'll the
future, Il devoted friend of the Union,
that Union is Il part OF his heritage"
In speaking OF the rapid growth of
the country, he said: At the present
ratio of increase another hundred
years would see, if the Union lasts,
200, 100000 more people here under
one Government than now inhabt the
whole continent of Europe. To main
tain so vast Union requires degree
of wisdom, knowledge and patriotism
that has never yet been displayed in
the government Of mankind. think
the preservation of party is almost ii
synonym for the preservation of liberty
and union think the Democratic
party is the natural party of free insti-
tutions, and that ii will be indcstructi-
BILE so long as freedom exists in Amer
lea. All that can do in concluding
my brief remarks, is to conjurc you to

your free institutions, to inculcate this
love in the minds of your children and

observed by John Hyslop, keeper of

every pane of glass for II thousand
yards. The north end and balconies
of the Cliff House We're wrecked, and
the doors and windows were blown in

The sighting station was badly in

chandise, and had 900 boxes OF giant
powder No. 3 on board. The cxplos7

plosion until this morning, then
crowds ilocked the scene and tho
roads were taxed to their utmost ca
